    I have Raydon's software and can access the hidden menus but when I go to the manual tune options to put in details for TVE International the transponder option for modulation on this Hotbird channel is greyed out. I want to change to 8PSK. If any one can advise I'd be grateful.

    Hi
    First thing do you have a motorised dish? And how do you control it?
    Or do you have a dish for Hotbird ?
    If you have I recommend a visit to " Purple Sat "
    they have a section dedicated to setting up the Foxsat HDR

    Foxsat hidden Menu

    Hope this helps

    It is a fixed dish. Thanks. I'll look through Purplesat documentation.

    Solved! I can now receive TVE International. I read Purple Sat and also some other documentation I found on the web. I went to manual tune and accessed the hidden menu by R G Y B then G Y B. I had to ignore Hotbird under the satellite settings section of antenna settings and select a user defined satellite which I could rename to Hotbird2. I set the frequency and other data to that of TVE-I and changed DVB to DVBS2. This change then ungreyed the modulation which I changed to 8PSK and saved. Then I went back to manual tune and selected my newly named satellite and did a search and hey presto there was TVE-I.
